Dear Juno, I believe you bravely and maturely handled the situation that you were placed in. I’m not going to say whether I believe you made the right decision or not, because I am not you and I have not lived through the things you have. I put would only be fair to have a say in your situation if I was living it. Your ultimate decision to have a family adopt the baby was one of many options you were presented with. I believe your pregnancy forced you to learn about relationships and love at a much more rapid pace than your friends and peers. While you did handle your situation maturely, you and Bleeker should have been a lot more careful before having sex. Using protection and going on the pill should have been things to consider. I respect and honor your growth throughout your pregnancy, however I do question your decision making skills in the beginning. My stance on abortion is very pro-choice. It should fully be the woman’s right to choose what happens to her body. Having the option to make a decision is always what I believe in. Nobody is able to comprehend what another person’s life is like or their living situation so why should some judges have the power to change the ruling on what can and can’t happen to a woman’s body? With a change from a democratic president to a republican president there is fear that Roe v. Wade could be overruled and the country will regress back to the way things were before 1973. I fear that it can happen but realistically, things won’t change in California too much. We are a pretty liberal state and the state government would probably legalize it. For this reason, I don’t fear for California. I fear for all the women in Republican states. I fear for what can and possibly will happen to them. All abortion thoughts aside, the real important concern is prevention of unwanted pregnancy. There are so many options for prevention that it is stupid not to use at least a few forms before having sex.
